If this is not in your shooting comfort zone, then I'd really like to see some shots that are. These are excellent.

Looks like you are ready to join the birdie shooting club. :biggrin:

Gee Flew... thanks! I guess I was happy enough with them, because I did post them after all

Dunno if I have the gentle patience that you guys do. I'll shoot them when an oportunity arrises, but really, I don't have the patience required to do this a lot. I'm a very impatient shooter, which is why streets/urban suit my style better. You haven't seen the last of me here though :wink: Just whish I had the BIG gun money you guys have :biggrin:

Hey man, good job on these! Like the 1st shot very much, it's got good compositional qualities, but love the composition of the last shot. I suppose it's kind of a good thing you picked large, slow(er) flying birds to pick on wit that lens. You did nail the focus on em!

Thanks Steve... you should have seen how many were OOF! Still, the old clunker did pretty well - like I was saying though, I have precious little experience at AF-C, so obviously results are going to be mixed. I'm happy with the keepers though.

Nice shots...I LOVE #2...the stark white (which you held REALLY well) against all that pretty green....wow!!! I also liked the last one....Nice composition there. Thanks for sharing....

BTW, you said you were looking for lizards...did you find any?

Hehehe.... actually, the Egret was the one hunting for them... They are EVERYWHERE here in SoFla. All I got to do is walk down the steps of my apt to the ground floor outside, and I can usually count 10-15 scurring for cover. They're an easy catch down here for foul that don't find them too foul :biggrin:

Funny, that second shot is a testiment to shooting uncompressed RAW with the D2x. I had some blown highlights there, but it wasn't too bad, and they came back just fine in NC... I just love capture!
